Mental health of college students is a psychological term. It means that college students' psychology has many characteristics of youth, but as a special group, college students can't be completely equal to the youth in society. Mental health is generally measured by scale, and its standard is not fixed. Mental health standards change with the changes of the times and cultural background.
College students, a seemingly relaxed group, are actually under great pressure. Under the pressure of study, life, emotion and employment, the mental health of college students has been in a hurry. Bloody facts are constantly warning us to pay attention to the psychological health of college students.
In 2000, initiated by the General Branch of the Department of Psychology of Beijing Normal University and the Student Union, more than a dozen universities responded, and approved by the Beijing Youth League Committee and the Student Union, May 25th of each year was designated as the National College Students' Mental Health Day, in order to call on college students to pay attention to their mental health, and thus set off an upsurge of social concern about mental health.
The mental health of college students has gradually become the focus of social attention. With more and more college students dropping out of school due to psychological problems, even some abnormal or vicious incidents such as suicide and murder were reported in newspapers from time to time. Until the bear wounding incident in Liu Haiyang in early 2002, social concern for college students' mental health reached a climax.
People can't help asking-what's wrong with college students now! ? At present, college students in China seem to have mixed feelings. Happily, they have strong independence and the ability of self-management, learning and development. What is worrying is that their mental state is closely related to the mental health of China people in the whole social background. All kinds of social atmosphere constantly affect the original pure university campus, which is no longer a pure land, and the psychological problems of college students become very concentrated and prominent.
